Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 4236 — The Night Journey (Isra)

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Al-Buraq was brought to me, and I mounted it behind Jibril (peace be upon him). Then al-Buraq set off with the two of us. Its manner was such that when it climbed a hill, both its hind legs would rise, and when it descended, both its forelegs would rise. Then it took us through a land that was extremely dark, stifling and foul-smelling; then it kept going with us until we reached a very spacious, fragrant and pure land. I asked: 'O Jibril, we were travelling through a land that was dark and foul-smelling, until now we have reached this spacious and pure land (what is this)?' Jibril (peace be upon him) said: 'That was the land of Hell, and this is the land of Paradise.'" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then I passed by a man who was standing in prayer. He asked: 'O Jibril, who is this with you?' Jibril (peace be upon him) said: 'This is your brother Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).' So he welcomed me, prayed for blessing for me and said: 'Ask ease for your Ummah.' I asked: 'O Jibril, who is this?' He said: 'This is your brother Isa (peace be upon him).'" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then we went further and heard a thunderous voice. Then we came to a man, and he asked: 'O Jibril, who is this?' Jibril (peace be upon him) said: 'This is your brother Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).' He too welcomed me, prayed for blessing for me and said: 'Ask ease for your Ummah.' I asked: 'O Jibril, who is this?' He said: 'This is your brother Musa (peace be upon him).'" He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Towards whom is he showing this vehemence, and what is this voice? Jibril (peace be upon him) replied: 'Towards his Lord.' I said (in surprise): 'Towards his Lord?!' Jibril (peace be upon him) said: 'Yes, his Lord knows well this vehemence and sharpness of temperament of his.' Then we went further and saw some shining lamps. I asked: 'O Jibril, what is this?' He said: 'This is the abode of your father Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Would you like to go near him?' I said: 'Yes.' So we went near him, and he welcomed me and prayed for blessing for me. Then we went on until we entered Bayt al-Maqdis, and Jibril (peace be upon him) tied that mount to the same ring with which the prophets used to tie their mounts. Then I entered Bayt al-Maqdis, and there were arranged in rows before me all the prophets whom Allah Almighty has mentioned (in the Qur'an) and whom He has not mentioned, and I led all of them in prayer except these three persons, namely Musa, Isa and Ibrahim (peace and blessings be upon them)."
Imam Abu Ya'la narrated this hadith through the chain of Hudbah bin Khalid and Shayban bin Farrukh, both from Hammad bin Salamah.
